News - Walden's Job Plan

Crook Count's Unemployment rate is 12.5% and the highest in the state. An Oregon congressman says he was a plan to improve that. A Bill reintroduced by Republican Greg Walden would result in construction of a small scale hydro-power production plant at the base of Bowman Dam in Central Oregon. Walden says there are multiple benefits to the plan including 50 jobs for the Dam project.
